About OpenRoad Global
OpenRoad Global is a Dallas, Oregon-based global 3PL founded in 2004, ranked #77 on Transport Topics' 2026 Top 100 Freight Brokerage Firms with $229 million in gross revenue and $38 million in net revenue. Originally founded as OpenRoad Transportation, the company rebranded to OpenRoad Global to reflect its evolution from a Pacific Northwest truckload broker into a full-service global logistics provider with 40,000+ vetted carriers and 12 US offices.
OpenRoad's competitive advantage is the combined domestic + international logistics scope — truckload (dry van, open deck, reefer, over-dimensional, expedited), LTL, intermodal, drayage, plus a global forwarding division for air, ocean, and US customs brokerage. Per Transport Topics 2026, dry van TL is primary; reefer, LTL, intermodal, flatbed, expedited, and bulk/tank are active. Cross-border to Canada and Mexico extends coverage. The Pacific Northwest base provides natural density on West Coast and PNW corridors.
For shippers, OpenRoad Global is best suited to mid-to-large importers, manufacturers, or retailers with both domestic US freight and international ocean/air volume — particularly Pacific Northwest, West Coast, and cross-border North American shippers. Domestic-only Eastern US shippers may find better fits with Eastern-headquartered brokers; OpenRoad's edge is West Coast density combined with global forwarding capability.
